The Anthology of Australian Tennis Players
The Anthology of Australian Tennis Players
In 1905, the precursor to Tennis Australia was established to oversee the Australasian Championships (now known as the Australian Open), and Australia’s first entry into the Davis Cup. More than one hundred years later, tennis remains a sport played and supported by millions of Australians.
Tennis has produced many national heroes; such as Rod Laver, Evonne Goolagong, Margaret Court, Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad, John Newcombe; and more recently Pat Cash, Pat Rafter, Lleyton Hewitt, Samantha Stosur, and Ashleigh Barty.
The Anthology of Australian Tennis Players profiles 150 of the greatest players; from Grand Slam winners to Davis Cup and Federation Cup legends; as well as the new generation who are the custodians of the past.
Relive every moment; every triumph and heartache of those we have celebrated and commiserated with for over a century. As Australian tennis undergoes a rejuvenation, this is a must for tennis fans everywhere.
